My Senior Has Been Plotting This for a Long Time

Complete

* More gaming in the early part, more everyday life in the later part

* Character dynamic: innocent younger student and scheming senior

After the college entrance exams ended, Yi He couldn't wait to start playing Honor of Kings.

But every match, someone took mid from her, and every match, she lost.

Three strikes and you're out. Yi He refused to believe she couldn't claim mid and win.

Player Four: I'm playing for a friend. National-level mid laner, guaranteed win.

Yi He had only just managed to steel her resolve, but now it wavered again. After all, climbing the ranks mattered more to her than playing mid.

So...

Yi He picked support again.

Things went well at first. Player Four really did carry them, just as promised. But when they reached the enemy high ground, she suddenly went AFK...

Without her, even Yi He, an excellent support, couldn't stop her teammates from getting wiped out.

Star -1

Yi He had planned to play all night, but went to bed in bitter defeat.

When she logged in again the next day, she found a request from a dazzlingly high-ranked player waiting in her friend requests.

The message read: Add me. I was Player Two in your last match yesterday. I'll make it up to you with a star.

Yi He checked her profile and saw that she had several mages ranked among the best in the country.

Rank-obsessed Yi He: I'm coming!

The expert carried Yi He through the match with ease. Just as Yi He was starting to regret that they could only play once, the expert suddenly messaged her, asking if she wanted to play together again sometime.

I do!!!

After spending a summer together, Yi He and Xie Qingci became friends. Then, by a twist of fate, they met in person when university began.

Since their families lived far away in City B and couldn't always be there to help Yi He right away, Yi's mother asked Xie Qingci, a senior Yi He knew, to look after her.

So whenever Yi He had a problem, she went to Xie Qingci.

One day, Yi's mother was lounging on the sofa when she got a call from Yi He. She thought something urgent had happened.

But when she answered, she heard Yi He's slightly nervous voice.

"Mom, what should I do? I think I've fallen for my senior."

*

Yi He had a favorite streamer. She wasn't an actress or a singer, but a famous gaming streamer on Apple TV.

She mainly played mid, had incredible skills, and single-handedly raised the win rates of mid-lane heroes. She was every mid player's dream, and had once declared, "No one can make me play support unless they beat me in a one-on-one."

One day, viewers in her livestream suddenly noticed that the lone-wolf player had a girl duo-queueing with her.

And she was even playing support for her!

In the match:

Xie Qingci: Baby, take the health pack.

Xie Qingci: Baby, you take the kill.

Xie Qingci: Baby, I'll block their ultimate for you.

Seeing Xie Qingci act so unlike herself, the livestream chat exploded.

[Do you even remember who's supposed to be the support?]

[?? Who is this? Why is she talking in the streamer's livestream? Has anyone ever heard the streamer speak so softly to anyone?]

[Judging by her gameplay, she doesn't look like she could beat the streamer in a one-on-one!]

[If there's nothing going on between them, I'll eat my keyboard on livestream!]

Xie Qingci raised an eyebrow. I know she's the support. I always talk like this. And she really did beat me in a one-on-one. You can put your keyboard away.

[!!!]

Beside her, Yi He heard Xie Qingci say that and quickly turned red.

Please check out my upcoming novel, "Turns Out She's Not a Sweet Little Flower"

Genuinely sweet and naive heroine * feigned innocent flower

A long time ago, Song Yuehua read a yuri novel about a coercive relationship. She loved one of its heroines, Bai Qingyu, so much that she even set aside her rule of never reading angsty stories for her.

But when Bai Qingyu overlooked all the harm the domineering CEO had inflicted on her and got together with her, Song Yuehua couldn't take it and dropped the novel.

Then one day, she transmigrated into the story as the CEO's younger sister. The sister was obsessed with her older sister. When Bai Qingyu was imprisoned, she not only ignored the law and failed to dissuade the CEO, but also helped her, stopping Bai Qingyu from escaping.

Song Yuehua had barely recovered from transmigrating when she heard a tearful voice beside her.

"Yuehua, will you help me?"

Song Yuehua looked toward the voice and saw Bai Qingyu in a white dress, her smooth hair draped over her shoulders. Her pale hand gently tugged at Song Yuehua's sleeve, and her clear, innocent eyes, brimming with tears, looked up at her. It was impossible not to feel sorry for her.

"Okay," Song Yuehua blurted out.

Bai Qingyu's body stiffened for a moment. Song Yuehua took both her hands and said firmly, "Don't worry. I'll help you get away from her." I'll help you live a happy life.

*

Now that she had a chance to save Bai Qingyu from her fate, Song Yuehua certainly wasn't going to let it slip by.

Unfortunately, Song Yuehua wasn't as calculating as the CEO, and she couldn't match her financially or politically. Several times, she tried to stop the CEO and failed.

I'm sorry, I can't save you TAT

Dejected, Song Yuehua went to find Bai Qingyu, hoping to get her to run far away.

But on the way, she ran into Bai Qingyu being harassed by her gambling-addicted father.

Song Yuehua was about to step in and pull the man away when she saw Bai Qingyu throw him over her shoulder with ease. He had been gripping her hand, and now he was on the ground.

Song Yuehua: Wait, something seems off.

Bai Qingyu noticed someone watching from afar. She rubbed her wrist, put on a hurt expression, and walked meekly toward Song Yuehua.

"Yuehua, my wrist hurts."

Out of habit, Song Yuehua reached over to rub Bai Qingyu's wrist.

Song Yuehua, realizing what she was doing: ...

Bai Qingyu smiled with satisfaction.

*

Not long afterward, the CEO's company went bankrupt, and Song Yuehua was thrown out of the villa.

She stayed at Bai Qingyu's home for a while. During an unguarded phone call, she discovered that Bai Qingyu was the one who had caused the CEO's bankruptcy!

Only then did Song Yuehua realize that the part she hadn't read had turned the whole novel from a coercive romance into a fake coercive romance and a genuine power fantasy...
